Game 6 of the NBA Finals represents the last time the TD Garden will host a game in the playoffs as the host Boston Celtics look to stay alive to lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy and must beat the Golden State Warriors to force the final Game 7 at the Chase Center.
Steve Kerr: Lor of The Rings
Since Steve Kerr took over as coach of the Warriors, the team has played six NBA Finals, including this one, and if they win this Thursday it would be the fourth championship for a dynasty that includes three players in all these editions, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
“Just hanging around the right people,” Kerr said. “You hang around superstars long enough, you’re going to get some residual success falling your way.”
Kerr’s words make more sense considering he won five championships as a player, three of them with the 1990s Chicago Bulls with players like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippenamong others, and two more with Tim Duncan‘s San Antonio Spurs.
A historic season for Stephen Curry
On the other hand, the Warriors’ star player, Stephen Curry comes from having the first postseason game in his career without scoring a triple but could close a brilliant season in which he has achieved a number of awards and unique milestones.
Curry is already as of this season the all-time leader in three-pointers, beating the mark of a former Celtics player, Ray Allenhe was also the MVP of the All-Star Game and the Western Conference Finals, winning for the first time the Magic Johnson Award.
Now, the “Chef” is looking to win for the first time in his career the Bill Russell Trophy as NBA Finals MVPeverything is ready to know if this story comes true.
